Journée mondiale de l’environnement : Somater accélère sa décarbonation !

World Environment Day: Somater is accelerating its decarbonisation journey!

On the occasion of World Environment Day, we are highlighting a concrete initiative undertaken by the Belgian plant Plastuni Operations NV.

The site recently installed 4,500 m² of solar panels on its roof, in order to locally produce part of the electricity required for its operations.

This initiative directly contributes to reducing our carbon footprint by integrating more renewable energy into our energy mix.

It is part of our whole strategy of progressive and concrete decarbonisation of our operations, site by site, within the Somater Group.

We have a clear objective: to make our industrial operations more energy-efficient, more responsible and more sustainable.

A concrete step in Somater’s commitment towards a lower-carbon industry.

Nouveau format plus durable pour NAOS !

New sustainable format for NAOS!

The Somater teams are proud to support our client and partner NAOS (Bioderma – Institut Esthederm – Etat Pur) in the rollout of a new range of bottles, marking an important step forward in our shared eco-design approach.

This modernized design has been developed to improve environmental performance and optimize our internal operations, with several key objectives:

  • Better automation of our processes
  • Reduced risk of musculoskeletal disorders for our line operators
  • Optimized transport between our plant and the customer
  • Improved logistics packaging through to distribution points
  • Reduced overall carbon footprint

This launch is also accompanied by a complete redesign of the brand’s visual identity, creating products that are both more attractive and more sustainable.

A bottle that demonstrates how industrial performance, environmental responsibility and positive social impact can go hand in hand.

ANL Packaging lance un nouveau produit sur le marché belge !

ANL Packaging launches a new product for the Belgian market!

ANL Packaging is proud to announce the launch of its packaging dedicated to NVIVE medicine, developed and produced at the Wellen site since 2025.

The design of this innovative product is based on a thermoformed solution combining a PP tray and a PET lid. One of the main technical challenges was to achieve sufficient cavity depth in a particularly compact format, while ensuring the quality, consistency and reliability of the packaging.

This development once again demonstrates the expertise of the ANL Packaging teams in technical thermoforming, packaging innovation and customer support for high value-added projects.

Congratulations to the ANL Packaging teams on this great achievement!

Safety and Health at Work Day

At Somater, the safety of our employees in our plants is not just a priority – it is a daily commitment.

On the occasion of “Safety Day”, we reaffirm a strong belief: every accident is preventable.

In recent years, we have strengthened our actions through:

• targeted investments to improve equipment safety
• continuous training of our teams
• regular safety flash communications to reinforce best practices across our 8 safety pillars
• deployment of demanding safety standards across all our sites

But safety is not only about processes or equipment—it relies above all on the commitment of each and every one of us, every day.

Let’s continue to move forward together to ensure an ever safer working environment!

Visit of Servier teams at the heart of our Savigny site

The Somater Savigny teams recently had the pleasure of welcoming Servier teams to our facility.

This visit provided a concrete opportunity to showcase our industrial capabilities and latest advancements: new injection molding machines, end-of-line cooling systems, as well as an automated line integrating laser decoration and filling. These are all strong illustrations of the continuous and operational improvement dynamic we have recently implemented.

These direct exchanges were highly appreciated by our employees, proud to highlight their expertise and bring this partnership to life on the ground.

A big thank you to the Servier teams for their trust.

We are proud to be building a sustainable collaboration together, focused on performance and continuous improvement.

Industrial acceleration in Poland

Somater has reached a new strategic milestone with the integration of injection technology at our ANL Packaging Poland industrial site.

A project carried out in close collaboration with our partner L’Oréal, once again demonstrating the strength of our relationship: trust, co-development and industrial excellence.

We were delighted to welcome the L’Oréal leadership team to our Polish site – an opportunity to showcase and bring this innovative and challenging project to life.

A key step forward to meet our customers’ needs and support future innovations, as close as possible to the markets.

L’attachement au territoire : un engagement concret pour Somater.

Attachment to local territories: a concrete commitment by Somater.

The visit to the ANL Packaging site in Belgium by elected officials from the city of Wellen highlights the structuring role of mid-sized companies in regional development.

We would like to thank the Mayor, Els Robeyns, and her team for the quality of the discussions, which underline the importance of constructive dialogue between local authorities and industry in addressing challenges related to competitiveness, sustainability, and innovation.

In a context of increasing international competition and recurring crises, continuous dialogue with public authorities—at local, national, and European levels—represents a key lever for sustainable industrial development, benefiting all our stakeholders.

Journée mondiale du recyclage !

World Recycling Day!

The transition to more sustainable packaging is now at the heart of environmental and regulatory challenges.

At Somater, we are convinced that the plastic packaging industry must evolve to meet these sustainability challenges. This involves adapting to new regulatory requirements and adopting eco-design principles: incorporating recycled materials, reducing the weight of our packaging, and ensuring the recyclability of the final product.

This commitment is reflected in our operations. In 2025, 30% of the plastic resins processed by Somater come from recycled materials. Our goal is clear and shared with our partners: to design the packaging of tomorrow: circular, sustainable and fully recyclable.

Journée internationale des droits des femmes

International women’s rights day

On International Women’s Rights Day, Somater is honoring the women who contribute every day to moving our company forward.

Our industry is evolving and is now enriched by female talent at all levels of the organization: production, quality, technical and support services, management functions, and more.

This day is an opportunity to recognize these career paths, promote diversity, and remind everyone that gender diversity is a real driver of performance, creativity, and progress for our industry.
